Any idea what was done to it?
I think it had a spool...That's it. But it was a rail that weighed about 1,800 lbs if I remember correctly.

Somebody should come up w/ some type of formula that takes into account car weight, engine HP & torque, 60-ft, ET, MPH, etc., to be able to define a factor to use in comparing these. 
Looks like you just volunteered..
